DeltaWing's Rotary Gun Script

DeltaWing's Rotary Gun Script.

Features:
* One Script to Rule Them All! This script can manage as many rotary guns as your computer can handle
* Only one group required for all Rotary Guns
* Automatic assignment of guns to rotors
* Automatic prefiring of weapons with delay (railguns)
* Automatic charging of weapons that require power to fire (also railguns)
* One-click firing
* Information readout in Programmable Block interface
* Customizable offset for each rotor
* Automatic adjustment for rotor speed
* Supports any combination of any weapon on any rotor type
* Extremely optimized for performance [citation needed] (P.S: YMMV)





To set up:
Step 1: Group all of the rotors and guns of EVERY rotary gun into one group (by default, the group name is "RotaryGuns").
Step 2: Recompile.
Step 3 (optional): Set in the custom data of each rotor an offset, and recompile.

Any additional changes to configuration will require a recompile to take effect.

And that's it! You're done!



More info:

The script is set up to fire on hotbar, so you just add the weapon type to your hotbar and click. It's that simple.
Alternatively, if you want it to constantly fire, or use a timer, simply set the Fire option in the block in the terminal.

For weapons that have a delay before firing, it will automatically calculate the delay and fire at the correct time (mostly just railguns).
For weapons that take power to charge, it will keep them on to charge until they are ready to fire, and will shut them off. This will produce a visual
effect, but don't be alarmed; it is not actually firing (also railguns).

The script indexes the relative angle of each gun relative to the rotor root, and compares it to the rotor's current angle to determine if it should fire.
This is more performant than checking the dot product of rotor and gun vectors, and requires less API calls.
